A laughed ripped it's way out of Jamie "oh, you are delusional. I tracked the letter. And then I used more mundane means to find you. I asked people. I talked to people. I'm pretty sure someone would have seen you going somewhere which would lead me to Mayts parents. It would probably only take me a few hours. But let's say in wiling to deal? What will you deal for? Not my blood. I will never give you that" she said, and figuring the little dragon had enough time to speak, muttered "wave magic: negation" and brought up the negation field again.

"I have a deal in mind. I don't kill the dragon, and I don't kill you and you give me them back, but I suspect you won't go for that" Jamie's eyes roamed again, looking for Sho once more before returning to Melina.

Penny listened to what Damian had to say, and then she ended up laughing "Damian, I don't dislike the sight of blood, it's more the needless death of the merchant and the thieves. It wasn't necessary,, but it still happened, and that's what got to me. I'll be fine" she said her voice hardening, mirth disappearing. "Sasha's in danger. I have to be fine" she said, as they left the train, she looked about, but no one seemed to have noticed her.

"I put myself here. I'm not about to lose Sasha after just finding her. I'll do what needs to be done, not just for her, but for the guild. For fiore. You don't have to worry about me" she said, looking about, "let's find a way of getting to balsham village" she said, hoping that would be the end of this discussion.
